Freeman will be replaced by Derek Anderson following the injury -- he was set to fight Zak Bucia. He last fought at Bellator 186 and lost to Saad Awad by way of TKO. It's unclear how long Freeman will remain out.

Salter, who's quickly rising up the middleweight ranks, is coming off an impressive victory over Jason Radcliffe from last November when the 32-year-old defeated Radcliffe via first-round submission on a rear-naked choke. However, he'll be in for a tough fight against Lovato, who's currently undefeated in MMA and 3-0 within Bellator competition.

Lovato last competed at Bellator 189 last December, when the 34-year-old defeated Chris Honeycutt via unanimous decision. Altogether, Lovato is 7-0 in MMA and 3-0 within Bellator competition. The 32-year-old Salter, on the other hand, is 15-3 in MMA and 5-0 within Bellator competition.

Belsanti will be making his second appearance under the Bellator banner after defeating Vando de Almeida via unanimous decision last April. Over the course of his professional career, Belsanti holds a 7-6 record and is seeking his third straight victory when he enters the arena opposite Moore. "The Pikeman" comes into this fight having lost to A.J. McKee via submission in November and will be looking to get to 2-2 in the promotion with a win over Belsanti.

Moore was defeated by A.J. McKee via submission (rear-naked choke) during his previous time out in November, which brought his career record to 10-6 as a professional and 1-2 in the Bellator promotion. On the other side of the ring, Belsanti won his debut in the promotion at Bellator 176, besting Vando de Almeida via unanimous decision.

It took Caldwell the full 25 minutes to win the title over Eduardo Dantas last October. He needed less than three minutes to make his title defense. He came out with a measured pace. After he determined the distance, he charged forward with a blast double. He scored it easily. Higo tried to escape, but Caldwell used that opportunity to lock in an extremely tight choke and finished the fight. It seems like the promotion was working toward a rubber match against Joe Taimanglo, but there are a host of contenders at 135 pounds. Caldwell also expressed interest in moving up to featherweight in the future.

Higo lost to Darrion Caldwell via submission (guillotine) at 2:36 of Round 1 at Bellator 195 on Friday in Thackerville, Okla.

Fantasy Analysis

Since losing on the fourth season of "The Ultimate Fighter: Brazil," Higo had won five of his last six fights. He earned a second title shot after defeating Joe Taimanglo last October. However, he did not have the chance to show very much against Caldwell. About halfway through the first round, Caldwell closed the distance, scored a takedown and locked on the fight-ending choke. Higo is still one of the best bantamweights in the company, but it will take him a few more wins to get back into the title picture.

Age appears to be catching up to Warren. In the first round, he was able to compete with his wrestling. He scored a few takedowns. When the fight was standing, Taimanglo had a clear advantage. He scored liberally with hooks and low leg kicks. In the second and third rounds, Warren struggled to score takedowns. He did end up on top a few times, but Taimanglo was able to defend and escape. With the loss, Warren's professional record falls to 15-7. He will likely not earn another title shot in the bantamweight division, but there are still fights he can win with his wrestling alone.

In the first round, Warren had some success with his wrestling. When the two were on the feet, Taimanglo landed heavy shots. In the later rounds, Warren really struggled to implement his wrestling. This opened the door for Taimanglo. He landed with hard hooks and low leg kicks. In the final round, Taimanglo appeared to slip off a combination from Warren. This allowed Warren to get on top, but Taimanglo escaped and scored a takedown of his own. This was a very impressive victory over Taimanglo who improved his professional record to 24-8-1.

This was Ducote's first fight back after falling against champion Ilima-Lei Macfarlane with the inaugural Bellator flyweight title on the line. Her striking looked to be improved, but she was fighting a better striker in Williams. Ducote was looking to lead in the striking battle, but Williams used her length to land straight punches and kicks throughout the fight. Ducote had her moments, but it was not enough to sway the judges. In the final round, she scored a takedown, moved to the mount and threatened with an armbar. It ended up being too little too late. She falls to 6-4 with four of her professional wins coming under the Bellator banner.

Williams picked up her second consecutive upset in Bellator. In her professional debut, she knocked off boxing champion Heather Hardy.

In the final round, Ducote took the mount and threatened with an armbar, but Williams defended and made the final bell.

Joplin deserves credit for taking this fight on only eight days notice. He manage to be competitive in this fight, but he was never in a position to win. Archuleta was the better striker and wrestler. He scored with punches and kicks at will. He also landed multiple takedowns in each round. Joplin falls to 17-15 as a professional and might not get another shot on a Bellator main card.
